ABOUT THE GAME
The Last Soldier of the Ming Dynasty is set during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. As a member of the Qi's army stationed to guard the coastal regions, specifically tasked with pacifying the seas, you were patrolling the waters when a storm shipwrecked your boat. Now, you are alone with your sword, the last soldier of the Ming Dynasty standing against the pirates - but your duty won't be fulfilled until your people's coasts are safe again.
The game's art is inspired by traditional Chinese ink and wash paintings. From the humblest blade of grass to the most majestic mountains of Fuling Island, each scene is beautifully painted in ink and wash. But combat also plays an essential role in The Last Soldier of the Ming Dinasty. It is built upon three basic attack actions: stab, cleave, and sweep, which form the basis of both offense and defense. While executing these moves, it is crucial to discern the enemy's attacks simultaneously. You can deflect their attacks by accurately anticipating the enemy's actions. Stay calm in the midst of the storm while you ponder the enemy's every move, and you will remain undefeated in battle.
